d-Au and p-p collisions at RHIC and the multichain Monte Carlo Dpmjet-III
In this paper we compare systematically the two-component Dual Parton Model
(DPM) event generator Dpmjet-III to d-Au and p-p data from RHIC. In this
process we are able to improve the model. The need for fusion of chains and a
recalibration of the model to obtain collision scaling in h-A and d-A
collisions was found already in previous comparisons. Here, comparing to
transverse momentum distributions of identified charged hadrons we find also
the need to modify the transverse momentum distributions in the decay of
hadronic strings, the basic building blocks of the model on soft hadronic
collisions.Comment: 8 pages, 13 figures, Based on a contribution to a workshop "QCD at

Antibaryon to Baryon Production Ratios in Pb-Pb and p-p collision at LHC energies of the DPMJET-III Monte Carlo
A sizable component of stopped baryons is predicted for pp and P bP b
collisions at LHC. Based on an analysis of RHIC data within framework of our
multichain Monte Carlo DPMJET-III the LHC predictions are presented.Comment: Presented at "Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC: last call for

RHIC data and the multichain Monte Carlo DPMJET-II
Using data from RHIC we are able to systematically improve the two-component
Dual Parton Model (DPM) event generator DPMJET-III. Introducing percolation
parametrized as fusion of chains the model describes multiplicities and
pseudorapidity distributions in nucleus-nucleus collisions at all centralities.
Guided by the d-Au data from RHIC we recalibrate the model to obtain collision
scaling in h-A and d-A collisions.Comment: 8 pages, Based on a poster submitted to the 17th International

Antiparticle to Particle Production Ratios in Hadron-Hadron and d-Au Collisions in the DPMJET-III Monte Carlo
To understand baryon stopping we analyse new RHIC and Fermilab data within
the framework of the multichain Monte Carlo DPMJET-III. The present
consideration is restricted to to hadron-hadron and d-Au collisions.Comment: 10 pages, 19 figures. The paper is expanded in a mayor way to include

Inclusive distributions at the LHC as predicted from the DPMJET-III model with chain fusion
DPMJET-III with chain fusion is used to calculate inclusive distributions of
Pb-Pb collisions at LHC energies. We present rapidity distributions as well as
scaled multiplicities at mid-rapidity as function of the collision energy and
the number of participants.Comment: Presented at "Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC: last call for

Particle production azimuthal asymmetries in a clustering of color sources model
The collective interactions of many partons in the first stage of the
collisions is the usual accepted explanation of the sizable elliptical flow.
The clustering of color sources provides a framework of partonic interactions.
In this scheme, we show a reasonable agreement with RHIC data for pT<1.5 GeV/c
in both the dependence of v2 transverse momentum and in the shape of the
nuclear modified factor on the azimuthal angle for different centralities. We
show the predictions at LHC energies for Pb-Pb. In the case of proton-proton
collisions a sizable v2 is obtained at this energy.Comment: To appear in Journal of Physics
Hard diffraction in hadron--hadron interactions and in photoproduction
Hard single diffractive processes are studied within the framework of the
triple--Pomeron approximation. Using a Pomeron structure function motivated by
Regge--theory we obtain parton distribution functions which do not obey
momentum sum rule. Based on Regge-- factorization cross sections for hard
diffraction are calculated. Furthermore, the model is applied to hard
diffractive particle production in photoproduction and in
interactions.Comment: 13 pages, Latex, 13 uuencoded figure
Hadronic photon-photon interactions at high energies
Photon-photon collisions are investigated in the framework of the
two-component Dual Parton Model. The model is shown to agree well to hadron
production data from hadron-hadron and photon-hadron collisions. The
multiparticle production in hadron-hadron, photon-hadron and photon-photon
collisions as predicted by the model is compared. Strong differences are only
found as function of the transverse momentum variable. The hadron production in
photon-photon collisions at present and future electron-positron colliders is
studied using photon spectra according to the equivalent photon approximation,
according to beamstrahlung and according to backscattered laser radiation.Comment: 18 pages + 26 figures, latex with poscript figures uuencode
Photoproduction off Nuclei and Point-like Photon Interactions Part I: Cross Sections and Nuclear Shadowing
High energy photoproduction off nuclear targets is studied within the
Glauber-Gribov approximation. The photon is assumed to interact as a
-system according to the Generalized Vector Dominance Model and as a
``bare photon'' in direct scattering processes with target nucleons. We
calculate total cross sections for interactions of photons with nuclei taking
into account coherence length effects and point-like interactions of the
photon. Results are compared to data on photon-nucleus cross sections, nuclear
shadowing, and quasi- elastic -production. Extrapolations of cross
sections and of the shadowing behaviour to high energies are given.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figure
